Let's divide 259726 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 259726.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 46

Step 2:
When dividing 25 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 259 5 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 259, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 297 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
297 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 276 from 297 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 46

Step 5:
The number 46 fits into 212 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 564.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 184 from 212.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 286 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 286 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5646.0
If we subtract 276 from 286, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5646.2
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5646.21
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 46 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5646.217
If we take 322 away from 340, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5646.2173
If we take 138 away from 180, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5646.21739
If we subtract 414 from 420, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5646.217391
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5646.2173913
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5646.2173913
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 5646.2173913 with a remainder of 2e-08.
